Controls the plotfile output format. The smart format of graphics relates to a plotfile that has vectors associated with a pipeline component grouped together to form a single object in the drawing file, or has some non-graphical attributes associated with the symbol (tags/attributes). This switch also controls the file format of any nominated backing frame and detail sketch files, and the generation of any I01 type file name extension.
